NCPA Victories for College Athletes

 

Over the years, the NCPA has successfully pressured the NCAA into making the following reforms:

 

  • Helped establish a $10 million fund to assist former athletes who wish to complete their undergraduate degree or attend a graduate program
  • Elimination of limits on health care for college athletes
  • Increase in the NCAA death benefit from $10,000 to $25,000
  • Expansion of the NCAA Catastrophic Injury Insurance Policy so that college athletes who suffer permanent, debilitating injuries can receive adequate home health care
  • Implementation of key safety guidelines to help prevent deaths during workouts
  • Helped secure a settlement that made over $445 million in direct benefits available to athletes of all sports
  • Increase in the type of scholarship money players can receive
  • Elimination of the $2000 salary cap on money earned from part-time jobs 

 

 

 

 

It has become evident that, as the NCPA succeeds, college athletes gain necessary protections.
